<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">At my fundy school, the boys were not allowed to wear hats or jeans with rivets on them. (The latter was not strictly enforced.) They also had to keep their shirts tucked in at all times.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">The school dress code was bullshit. We would have received the same education had we all worn kilts and lederhosen. Dress codes based on societal constructs have nothing to do with the needs of the people. There are dress codes that reflect actual needs, but my school's dress code wasn't one of them.</span></p>

I'm not currently checking my "business" email address, so PM me if you see something you likey-likey. I hope this tiny blurb was permitted. If not, it's fine to delete it.

<p>If I had anyone over for dinner, I would already have confidence that they were an okay kind of person. If they wore a hat at dinner, I wouldn't be silent and never invite them back. I would ask them why. If they gave a good reason like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atheistnexus.org/profile/RussellPangborn">Russell Pangborn</a> does, I would be okay with inviting them back.</p>

<p>When I was raising my children, I wanted them to know how to behave when in the presence of presidents, queens, potentates. I taught them the socially accepted behaviors. Knowing which fork to use, or when to salute, or when to offer a seat was part of the socialization processes they needed to know.

<p>When I was raising my children, I wanted them to know how to behave when in the presence of presidents, queens, potentates. I taught them the socially accepted behaviors. Knowing which fork to use, or when to salute, or when to offer a seat was part of the socialization processes they needed to know. I also wanted them to be able to be with people in the ghetto and with mentally ill, and with street people and homeless, so they went with me as I provided services for the disabled or unabled. </p>
<p>As circumstances turned out, they did meet the president, and one son and daughter have responsibilities that take them to high levels of government and business. They know what is expected of them to meet social protocols. They feel confident and competent. </p>
<p>Both my sons wear baseball caps in the house and at dinner and I couldn't care less. Their respect for me is there and the hat has nothing to do with respect for me. How they speak to me and how they treat me means far more and hat at dinner is not a symbol of respect, they are grown men and do what feels right for them. If I feel disrespected, I tell them what I am feeling, what I want from them, and it is up to them to respond any way they choose. Thankfully, my feelings matter to them and they do what makes me feel comfortable, or they tell me they are not responsible for my feelings. I agree with that. My feelings are mine. The trick is to build a lifestyle that they respect. </p> The feeling of rage originate…tag:www.atheistnexus.org,2014-08-26:2182797:Comment:24653902014-08-26T16:01:49.660ZJoan Denoohttp://www.atheistnexus.org/profile/JoanDenoo
<p>The feeling of rage originates within the person having the feeling, not from external events. Have you noticed that one person's rage is another person's comedy? Whatever feeling that emerges, love, hate, joy, jealousy, anger, sadness, fear, guilt, shame, comes from within. Don't take responsibility for how others feel. </p>

<p>It was meant jokingly. Wearing a hat or not is unimportant. I think women care far less about how hirsute a fellow is than men think we do. We do like a confident man, and one that will give us a chance at the mirror! George Carlin was a treasure. He had wit, humor, wisdom, and character. I miss him. Leave your hat on Sir, it's just fine with me.<br/> ;-) </p>

<p>Dogly, if you really don't like me now because I am vain, then the following applies. If that was just a joke and I am being thick - then ignore this reply.</p>

<p>Sounds like emotional reasoning to me. It bothers you when I don't take off my hat. But, you don't have a good argument to make about the necessity for the removal of hats in certain social situations. So you make a generalization about something else.

Just like in Muslim societies where a female not wearing the hijab may garner remarks about her sexual morals.</p>
<p>You don't know me. If I am tagged by my friends as being vain, they need to see a lot more of that irritating behavior before coming to that conclusion. I can't look at someone wearing a hat, wearing a certain style of outfit to mask being overweight, putting makeup over a scar, not wearing a hajib etc. and make a sweeping conclusion about a major component of their entire character.</p>
<p>For the record, lately I don't care as much about my bald spot. But still agree with George about the ridiculousness of the hat police and will continue to ignore them.</p>

<p>Wear your hat if you want to, but take it off at the dinner table if your wife asks you to. As for a hand over your heart and saying a pledge, what is that all about? I know we did it blindly for years but I do it no more.</p>
